The CD and the FREE LookUp I sent with this email should be much better than this address, however, this is a direct route and shouldn't be overlooked. Rhonda Houston Do you mean there's a website that sneaked by you? web address: http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/ postal address: National Genealogical Society 4527 17th Street, North Arlignton, VA 22207 The page for the physician's info (watch out for wrap arounds that need to be repaired to use this monster): http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/frameset.cfm?DirectoryName=library&FileName=ama_ Here are some sources to consult: Called the 'Deceased Physician Master File found with the American Medical Associaton 515 N. State treet Chicago, IL 60610 (312) 464-5000 (312) 464-4184 (fax) This AMA provides biographical details from its database on physicians from 1878 to 1969 for a small fee. There may be a file microfilmed by the Family History Library which was later copied from the original cards which will be deposited with the National Genealogical Society. Almost 150,000 deceased doctors are listed in these two-volumes: "Directory of Deceased American Physicans: 1804 - 1929 (Chicago: American Medical Association) To find out about these two volumes Contact: AMA Library and Archives P.O. Box 109050 Chicoago, IL 60610-9050 (same phone # as above) Then, there are local and state medical association membership lists available that may also maintain old directories, which include those published on a regional level. You'll have to dig around here, but they are available. There are Private associations with printed directories, almanacs, and collective doctors' biographies with information on their members. (This filled a dual need for providing exposure for the budding professional and insuring the client of a given skill in a mobile society.) And finally, there exists a book by R. L. Polk who published a "Medical & Surgical Register of the United States and Canada" which was in its fifth ed. by 1898. (This is hard to find, but is around.)
